Thinking activity on wordsworth preface.

.what is the basic difference between the poetic creed of classicism and Romanticism. Classical poets were followed classical masters like Plato,Aristotle,socrates but Romantics poets were followed medieval poets and writers. Romantic writers were not believe any kind of restrictions but they believed in liberty and freedom of emotions and imagination but classical writers believe in restrictions. . why does wordsworth says what is poet rather than who is poet? Wordsworth focus upon the role of poet.A poet has a grater knowledge of human nature,lively sensibility,used the words quite platonic. . Poetic Diction is a one kind of language used in poetry.It is unique style.Wordsworth used the language which is "really used by men". .Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling it takes origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. . Wordsworth's definition of poetry is realated to one of his famous poem 'Daffodils".It is in four stanzas and first three stanzas are written the past tense and last one is present tense.so he recollecting nature in the last stanza.

Dryden

.Do you find any difference between Aristotle's definition of the play? Yes,there is huge difference between Aristotle's definition of tragedy and Dryden's definition of the play. Aristotle says that tragedy is an action that is serious and also having magnitude complete in itself and said about 'Catharsis'. Dryden says that he added two words in the definition that is just and live. .If I suppose to give my personal predilection,i would like to be on the side of modern,because ancient have followed the rules and disciplines and moderns have not only followed on imitated them but also given something new with the help of new inventions in that era like in science and changes in the social world. .I think arguments are presented in the favor of English plays.The plots of French plays are barren while English once are copious to further the same action. .I would like to go with poetic dialoges in the play.There are two critics who argued in terms of rhymes and blank Verde.

Aristotle task

.Yes I am agree with the Plato's objection to freedom of expression and artistic liberty enjoyed by creative writer.There is so many movies which should be banned according to the Plato's objection.
      There is some advertisement which should be banned according to the Plato's law of objection.
.In B.A programme there is a novel Dr.jekyll and Mr.Hyde which is written by R l Stevenson that we can consider as a creative work.That's follow the Aristotlian's literary tradition.
. During B.A i studied the tragic play Othello which is written by Shakespeare .Othello himself is the protagonist of the play.The Hamartia of the play is tragic flaw in the play and there is a error of the judgement in the end of the play.
.If we conclude all things one way Plato's objection is right other way.Aristotle views are right because,now a days people want to freedom and to live creative life they do not feel for moral life.
